Peugeot 308 Fuel Injection Nightmare

Emissions, you say? Now that you mention it, it does smell a bit stronger than usual. Rich, yeah, that's a good way to describe it. Is that a sure sign of injector trouble then? How did you sort yours out?

Okay, the smell points even more to the injection. I tried some fuel injector cleaner at first, but honestly, it was a waste of time and money. My advice? Get it to a garage and have them properly checked and cleaned, or replaced if necessary. Could save you a lot of headache in the long run.

Cheers for the advice! I bit the bullet and took it to a workshop. Turns out you were spot on – defective injection nozzle, they said it was all clogged up. Cost me 515€ to get it sorted, but she's running like a dream now. Thanks again!

Sounds familiar! I've got a 308 too, and those symptoms scream fuel injection issues. High fuel consumption, rough idling, stalling... yep, been there. Have you noticed any difference in emissions? Does it smell rich?
